Trader Joe's

(13)
"My preferred shopping bags for when I'm at home and I walk to the store to grocery shop are the Trader Joe's canvas bags, and Baggu standard size"
"Honestly? I love a Trader Joe’s tote for travel, specifically the pickle bag (or sardines or breakfast bag). It’s probably my most used item when I travel."
"The classic trader joes canvas bag off ebay, very strong and worth the monies"
"More than your price but the reusable zippered cooler bags at Trader Joe's are well worth it. They hold a lot, keep things cold, and carry well."

ChicoBags
4.8
(12)

Stasher

(7)
"They're super durable. highly recommend their clear/white ones."
"Works well with a marinade too."
"Stasher is great and is freezer friendly too. I’ve been using them for about two years and they’re fantastic quality, haven’t needed to replace them."
"Stasher are best, Ziploc endurables come close though and I think a tiny bit cheaper."
"Stasher bags by far. I tried so many other brands and none of them compare; I wish I’d have just bought stasher off the bat because I wasted so much money on cheaper brands."
"Stasher is really good"
"Doesn't produce as much plastic waste in the long run."

Nanobag
4.7
(7)
"I love my nano bags!!"
"I have the XL daily in my purse. I also have the regular, the sling and the drawstring - all great! So lightweight and I put everything in it."
"I have a nanobag in a little leather pouch on my keys and it has saved my bacon so many times."
"I just bought nanobags too and was impressed with the quality! I thought they’d be weaker since they pack up so small, but not the case at all."
"I prefer nanobags (they are so impossibly small!!!!) and Chico bags. I prefer these because the storage pouch is sewn into the bag so you won’t lose it."
"Just bought one based on this thread… seems like they pack so small, which is something I’m always looking for! Lightweight but strong."
"Agreed. I find Nanobags much more comfortable to carry"

SYZY
4.5
(4)
"The SYZY bag compresses TINY but expands big. The pouch it stuffs into is crazy small- only 1x1.75x2” - but it’s 16”x13” expanded and holds 60 lbs"
"I think they are one of if not the best reusable totes on the market. The construction is durable and you won’t have problems with handles ripping off because it is all one piece with the bag itself."
